Denim – Your Soul Style

I tend to channel Jenna Lyon’s most days being that she is one of my style icons and I look to her for constant inspiration. I kind of live for her and my obsession keeps growing (no judgements please!). It’s not only that I envy her fashion sensibility, but consider her a brilliant business woman, extremely down to earth, courageous, humble and authentic – all qualities I put as priorities for myself. She is just the best!

We actually have a lot in common (insert giant happy face here)!!!

She has a GF, I have a wife
She is Jenn-A, I am Jenn-Y
She works in retail fashion, I work in retail fashion.
She is tall, I am tall.
She wears red lipstick, I wear red lipstick
She dresses high and low, I dress high and low (ex: expensive top w/affordable jeans)
She loves denim, I love denim
She rocks pointy toe heels, I rock pointy toe heels
She wears glasses, I wear glasses
She loves clutches, I love clutches

My version (get the look here):

the overview

the details: shoes: j.crew, bag: cole haan, bracelets: gift from sister, bombay electric (india), abc carpet & home, j.crew, vintage

the outfit: shirt: j.crew, sweater: massimo dutti, jeans: gap

Whether trend right or not, I have always been a huge fan of boyfriend jeans. It just happens to be my luck that they are hugely popular for spring and I can update (as you can too!) my closet with a new pair for the season. They are pretty much flattering on all body types (when styled properly), give off an effortlessly cool and relaxed sensibility and are extremely comfortable (bonus!). I suggest pairing them back to a form fitting top (or tee) hitting just around your hip bone. Nothing too long or overly slouchy since the jeans will achieve the ‘laid back’ portion of your look (you don’t want to lose your silhouette in clothes that are too baggy from head to toe). Include a second layer such as a blazer or cardigan, accessories (if you wish) to add further femininity, perform the half tuck (styling detail to add to the sexy – see below for half tuck visual reference), scrunch up sleeves and you are ready to go! Get. Them. Now.
